GUYS! Something very strange happened with the upload... We lost the last 7 minutes of the video somehow. We are going to post the last 7 minutes at Patreon.com/ScaryPockets for free - you won't have to pay to see it! Sorry for the snafu!!! SO GOOD TO BE BACK. Love hearing from all you guys!

Well, that's quite a suspension chord.
scam...
@deadwaxshow check out the podcast Dissect. They do a break down of the whole “In Rainbows” album. Every song. It’s unreal.
how is something a scam if you paid nothing for it?@@willemvandebeek
Colin's bass playing is so so underrated. He's a beast.
Thom and Ed play a lot of those guitar parts that are being accounted to Jonny. Maybe check the Live from the basement version for extra details. they play it basically verbatim.
It was basically recorded live in the studio for the album too.
It's so fun to watch them play live. It's like playing I Spy to figure out which part is coming from where haha
Ed really makes the weird Radiohead sound. You really see it in live performances and his diary from the Kid A recording days
Yeah, Ed's being forgotten, lol
I think ed is doing the wah in half position during the verse and the ambient reverby bit in the bridge. Jonny does all the well.... crazy Jonny bits lol
Dead wax is alive!
… Zombie Wax?
Alive wax
Lets gooooooo!
Guys, the intro is played by Thom, not Johnny. And there's 3 guitars.
This angle of Ryan's studio is so unusual after seeing so many videos in there, and it's so well lit it almost looks like a greenscreen fill in :')
So glad you're back. Nobody else is talking about music like this. It supports and reinforces my learning journey!
Ondes Martenot player checking in here! The 'Theremin' sounds you talk about are very likely to be the ondes Martenot, if it isn't a complete certainty.
At this time, it is probable that it was Jonny's digital student model built by Maurice Martenot's son, Jean-Louis. It could also have been some modular setup with the ondes Martenot-inspired French Connection controller that he worked with Analogue Systems to create.
Jonny has professed his love for the ondes Martenot quite a bit, and has used one form or another of the instrument since around Kid A onwards. He's certainly done a lot for raising the profile of this tragically unheard-of, beautiful, and fascinating instrument.
100p, i've read he owns 2. jack was spot on when he said 50s horror movie, the ondes martenot was used in many horror films
@@eden-xf2rf last I checked, he has the digital student model he got in Paris, the first of Jean-Loup Dierstein’s ondes musicales instruments, a few of ASADEN’s Ondomo instruments, and an AS French Connection ondes-style CV controller.
It was indeed used in lots of horror films. It certainly evokes that vibe almost effortlessly - probably partially thanks to it sounding somewhat similar to the theremin, too, which saw similar use.
@@JoshSemans I read that he does own those but that in 1999 he acquired an original one that he used on kid amnesiac. I'm not certain though, I'm only certain that I would do anything for one lol. it seems like one of the most beautiful sounding expressive instruments this planet has created and I can't believe it's one of the first electronic instruments too
@@eden-xf2rf the original one you're referring to is the digital student model built by Jean-Louis Martenot. It is, for all intents and purposes an 'ondes Martenot' but it isn't the same as a 'traditional' ondes. I believe they had it delivered to wherever they were working on Kid A/Amnesiac stuff in Paris.
It certainly is a beautiful instrument! If you ever want to know more about it, do get in touch. I'm always happy to chat about the ondes :-)
I sub to your channel, Josh :-D In the documentary Wavemakers, the main woman in the film (her name escapes me, she’s a famous Ondiste) goes to a RH show and talk with Jonny onstage afterwards. He shows her the student model he got when they were recording in Paris, and she had never seen one like it before. There are plenty of photos of Jonny playing the Ondomo too. That documentary is fun to watch; the crotchety old man who repairs Ondes Martenots, the discussion of the “proprietary powder” that goes into the leather pouch, etc.
For anyone who wants to go super deep on this song (or any song from In Rainbows) there is a podcast called Dissect that did a whole podcast episode about this song, and it is WILD what went into this song.
I just subscribed. Thanks for the recommendation.
I needed this. Thanks!
Yes! I missed this show so much. Please don't ever leave us again.
So happy to see y'all back and tackling one of the best tracks from what might be my favorite album of all time. Great analysis.
I could definitely watch an entire series on tracks from this album... There is SO MUCH to talk about.
🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Literally last night I was checking this channel wondering what happened to it. So glad you guys are back!
The fact that I opened RUclips to listen the acoustic version of Bodysnatchers and got this video at the top is mesmerizing. And it's the comeback of Dead Wax, incredible!
There are some special mixes where instruments (or components or - like a ride cymbal) don't sound louder or quieter but rather closer and further away. Its something I feel that is often done very well on Radiohead albums. Its very special.
Loved what you said about the ride cymbal - it can actually be quite difficult to play an eight ride like where it’s so ahead of the beat comparatively (especially to those off-accented kick hits), because it throws all your rhythmic weight in your shoulders, but it so beautifully pushes the almost teenagery brashness of the whole song
I have loved this tune from the first time I heard it, but never actually dissected it to anywhere near the degree you guys are. It is such an intense song that does have that 'scary' horror movie vibe to it until the outro section that ramps down the tension. Radiohead is one of a kind. Probably my favorite band of the last almost 30 years. There is no other band I get excited about an upcoming album as when Radioheads announces one. I just hope we get a few more of them.
I love the enthusiasm of Ryan and Jack to speak about harmonies, melodies and beats
Definitely one of the best bands in the world!
Absolutely ridiculous how talented they are:)
I’m going to see the smile in two months and can’t bloody wait ❤
QOTSA gets wicked tones and rhythms like that. Sounds very similar to a QOTSA arrangement. But with a Radiohead twist.
I have to confess to not having been a Radiohead-Head up to now. If you'd have played that song to me without the main vocal I'd have taken it for a QOTSA song I just didn't know for some bizarre reason.
@@martattacks Glad you hear it too. They're often stolen from and not credited. They're overlooked in a lot of conversations too. It says a lot that a band of Radiohead's caliber is borrowing from them.
@@pitpride1220 Yeah, it definitely has Songs for the deaf-Vibes.
excellent observation. never considered it, but you are on point. QOTSA are so underappreciated
Two of my favorites
I’ve missed this so much
I would watch another hour of this, the video flew by. I've listened to this song so many times (hundreds?) and feel like I'm hearing it for the first time after your analysis. Love it!
Y'all should take a look at "little by little" by Radiohead, the influence from forró music with the percussion makes it such an interesting listen!
There are three guitars in this song! Thom is playing the intro riff, supported by Jonny playing the muted strokes
Thom's guitar is a vintage SG, recorded via DI.
Yes, this is the show for me haha. I love nerding out on super specific theory, but also the bigger picture, putting words to the overall vibe and effect achieved with all those specific theory nerd moments
I breathe music, and there's nothing that comes even close to it in my life (human beings excluded). Nevertheless, I'm not a trained or schooled musician, which is why I adore your Dead Wax episodes and enjoy them to the fullest - your knowledge opens worlds to me, and your backgrounds add so much beauty to the emotional dimension I grasp, without destroying the magic of it. Thank you so much for revealing the inner mechanics of the things I love with passion and joy; it gets me even closer to them.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
So excited for this. If you couldn’t tell. Glad you’re back!
Great to see you back! I think something may have gone awry in the edit, the video ends quite abruptly
This is so great to have you guys back! Love your show!
DEAD WAX IS BACK YESSSS
That’s awesome they thought the Ondes Martenot was jonny singing because that’s what he loves about it; he always wanted to sing
I mean that tone is insane.
I could listen to Jack nerd out about Radiohead all day. Please do every song, thnx
How have I only just found this channel. Perfect stuff guys, thank you
It’d be Ed O’Brien on background vocals I think. He and Thom sound really good together.
I’m pretty sure (though not 100% certain) that Ed handles the backing vocals live, but that Thom does it all for the studio sessions
I'm pretty sure Thom Yorkes rhythm guitar tone in the intro was created from going DI to console with a Gibson SG on the neck pickup. I'm unsure if the distortion was from a pedal or preamp distortion
Finally! You’re back!
I feel like we're spoiled by having this band around for so long. It's like when you wonder whether people really knew how good Mozart was while he was alive. It's happening right in front of us and it's nearly impossible to explain how good it is. I REALLY hope there are bands as good as this in the future, but Radiohead will never be eclipses or outdone. The same way the Beatles and Led Zeppelin will forever have their place, this band will as well, pushing music forward the same way they did.
I think the average person still doesn’t know how good Radiohead is. They know “Creep” and they don’t go any deeper. Led Zeppelin had that too where most people only knew “Stairway to Heaven” for a long time. Luckily a lot of DJs that knew there was more there started playing all their songs to educate the public. The difference with the Beatles is that they started out as a huge pop band so when they grew as artists, people kept listening and it changed music.
Really glad to see the light hasn’t gone out for DeadWax 😎
Bodysnatchers was the song that got me back into Radiohead after a long break
so glad to have you guys back.
the melody slowed down sounds like within you without you a little bit. thanks for doing this!
So glad you guys are back - keep it going!
I'm so happy to see a new upload from this channel my god
Oh dang I didn't realize these guys were back
I also want to point out that the whole song, they never hit the beat 1. The drum beat and the guitars hit before the 1 of the beat, so its why the groove creates this rushing feeling, and creates lots of movement. I think they hit it when the angelic section begins, its why it feels so resolved after so much tension. Its such a driving drum part that is one of the keys to this song.
I was gonna post the same. It's a shame it wasn't mentioned, though there is a lot to cover, so is understandable.
I've learned every Thom Yorke Guitar part and Bodysnatchers was easily one of the harder songs to learn, he's an animal, his part isn't hard on paper. But SINGING this song is another thing
So grateful that Dead Wax is back !
Sweet-Welcome back!
Watch the ‘in the basement’ episode of in rainbows. Radiohead do the whole album live, up close and personal
Exactly. Guys you must watch it to see how it’s Thom at the start on the guitar, probably how he first devised the song. All the more incredible that he’s doing that and the singing I think.
And In The Basement is the brainchild of Nigel Godrich just for good measure. QOTSA one is also fantastic. Although Radiohead #1 obvs.
when Brad Mehldau covers Radiohead its transcendental
💯
we're so back
I love Radiohead. This was a great video... New sub!
Great video as usual guys! I read somewhere that the intro guitar sound was recorded straight to board with preamp saturation (neve or trident maybe?)
missed the "what are you listening to now?" bit at the beginning of the show... I used that to my source of new music
we will do more of that!
Aaaahhhh!!! I’m so stoked!
I'M SO GLAD YOUR BACK.
Omg omg omg it's back.. ITS BAAAACKK
YESS, I've been waiting for a post-OKC Radiohead analysis from you guys for so long! While the bends/OK computer are brilliant albums, Radiohead's magic for me lies in Kid A and everything they did after that.
so great to see you again, can't wait to see who you're having as your guests this season
wish you'd host some vocalists to give their two cents (I suggest Kenton Chen) :)
This guitar tone is the equivalent to the bass on “the national anthem”
You're back!🎉🎉
Such a Blowing Mind Beat !!!!!!
OMG - GOOD to see you guys back ❤
This song became an ode to my dad's death for me. Lung cancer that spread to the brain. What's funny is how Radiohead songs will touch me subconsciously before I dig into listening to the lyrics and understand. Then I will be like OH SH!T. I especially did this with You're All I Need. I'd been listening to the song for years and didn't realize until after a divorce that it was describing the problem.
Anyway how many folks cheated ahead to "the moment" like me? 😄
Whaaaaaaaaaat!? I'd given up hope, but you're back!
Distorted guitar isnt something that i usually gravitate towards, cause you hear it so often
_however_
Bodysnatchers is one of the tracks where i absolutely love it.
The distortion really adds an extra dimension to the rhythm.
So glad you're back! ❤ Ironically, and I do mean ironically, your Patreon link in the usual description area is not working. 🔗
YOURE BACKKKKKKJ
This was awesome! More Radiohead would be so cool!!
Who likes the "From The Basement" live version of the song even better than the original? :D
I think it's true for almost every Radiohead song that you hear a more... trying to use a word that's not a synonym for live like alive or vibrant... but that... for most of their songs played live. Thank goodness RUclips has so many of their concerts to absorb.
Welcome Back!!!!!
omg you guys are back 😭😭😭
FUCK I am so glad to see you guys show up in my sub feed again
YOU GUYS ARE BACK!!!!! WHAT A TREAT ❤
The ride cymbal trick is a bit like a continuous one piano note you can find in Stooges or QOTSA
Weirdest episode yet, but I dont care, I'm just glad you're back!
Missed u guys
I once ran an acoustic guitar with a Sunrise pickup through a Fuzz Face and into a JCM800 just to see what would happen. It sounded monstrous - in a good way. Like it was about to explode. I wonder whether Radiohead used an acoustic guitar on this track.
You're back! so happy love your videos.
You guys have any interest in King Gizzard?
actually that nasty guitar tone comes from them plugging in directly into the board, with the inputs super hot and clipping
idk if it's DI-ed or amped but the distortion on the main guitar line is created by running the guitar into the mixer super hot, same type of mixer the beatles used
Thom plays the intro, Ed plays the section which begins with the G minor. Why do they assume it's always Jonny?...
missed u guys... 🎉❤
In college one of my finals was to pitch who would be the greatest band of all time after The Beatles. I picked Radiohead and wrote about why.
(This was before I discovered ABBA ;))
Glad you’re back!
Sounds like a great course! What was it called? (I would've tried to make a case for King Crimson I think! :))
@Deadwax did you guys listen to Dissect podcast series about In Rainbows ??Go check that out !
The song reminds me somewhat of a Beatles' song "Tomorrow Never Knows".
Welcome back
I feel they forget that Radiohead has three guitarists. Tom plays the main riff and then there are Edd and Johnny doing the chaotic and textures
oh thank god
WE'RE BACK BABY
Instead of Major and Minor, they're mixing lydian and dorian, IMO, to get nerdy. It's the twingier versions of major and minor. Ie. Major + twinge = Lydian, Minor + twinge = Dorian. Plus you can always pass through a diminished when voice-leading between "mundane" chords.
WHAT?! 😱 Dead Wax?! 😵 What's happening? 👻 I searched on Spotify and YT the last months again and again and nothing ... and ... THANK YOU! I really need some music talk! Honest and with passion. Just give it to me, come on guys 😂❤🔥 Let's goooo 🔥🔥🔥
I enjoy trying to understand and follow along with what you are all saying...and not really able to.
what a comeback!
IT LIVES
Alive wax!
FINALLY!!!
I am here! I’ve been waiting! Let’s do this!
Happy new year! Have I ever told you guys I love you? I love you guys😂.
Please could we get a deep dive into the whole In Rainbows record 🙏
Let's goooooooo!!!!!
